We did a lot with a little on this tiny urban lot in between the Greenlake and Tangletown neighborhoods in Seattle. Take a look at the story of our design process.
This photo is taken from the street looking northeast at the outdoor patio and inside to the living room and kitchen.
The living room is housed in the wood box with the main volume of the home in navy blue.

Tangletown modern
On a small site an existing one story structure standing right at the corner allowed us to design a house that could live the whole site, connecting interior and exterior and balancing public and private. Abundant daylight and careful planning make the spaces feel generous. We used economical materials in a thoughtful, custom way to give each space its own identity while creating a cohesive home.
This project was designed by the previous iteration of our company, D3 Design/Build, in collaboration with Vandeventer + Carlander Architects, the Architect of Record for the project.
